I am currently trying to write a Perl program in a Solaris 9
environment
I am trying to process a list of variables with UNIX environment
variables embedded in them of the form
$dir_to_check = "$ENV_VAR1/some_dir/$ENV_VAR2/another_dir";
and I am trying to find if another_dir exists, so I have a line of
code that tries to do something like this:

if (-e $dir_to_check) { do some stuff }


It's `-d dir` for directory exist test.
`-e` is for file exist test.

Not really. It's

 -e for item exists
 -d for item exists and is a directory
 -f for item exists and is a plain file
